We finally managed this a couple of Thursdays ago.
My Hb and I had dinner at the Ritz at few years ago for our wedding anniversary so we knew what to expect. Even so, the sight of the Palm Court, where afternoon tea is held is just splendid.
In the most sumptuous surroundings
My Mum and my daughter were on great form and we chatted for England.
So my card today I think is very apt. I used a Stamping Bella stamp which I coloured with Inktense Pencils and then paper pieced their dresses. The sentiment comes with this fun stamp I stamped and embossed it. I die cut the bottle of champers and added some pink bling and hearts.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
Stamping Bella colour inspiration I tried to get all the colours of the palette onto my focal.
Allsorts Pink
Sweet stampin spots/stripes..one of my girls is wearing a spotty floral dress.
